That's a NA type converter and I'd bet it'll blow right through it. You can try it, but IMO it's a poor choice for nitrous or big HP NA use. Been there and done that.

Good luck!!

If it doesn't work, send it in and have it re-stalled to a PT3800. Several folks have had great luck spraying that converter....one member up in WA state (TwoFast4Lv) sprayed a 200-shot on his for years with no problems at all.

I'm basing my opinion on your current NA HP and results I've had personally.

I'd go with a Circle D 5C. It'll work very well with your current set up NA and spray, but will also compliment your future stroker motor plans.

Good luck!

I blew through mine big time on a 175 shot. Motor made 435/550 rwhp off the bottle. Went with a 3800 triple disc Vig. Very happy. Not as good off the bottle, but 10 times better on. Set up to lock up @ 110, it feels like a second 50 hp stage hits.
